ABSTRACT

6-[α-(Amidino- and imidoylaminoalkanoylamino)aracylamino]-penicillanic acids and synthetic methods for the preparation thereof.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a continuation-in-part of co-pending application Ser. No. 277,064, filed Aug. 2, 1972 and now abandoned.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to a series of penicillins and in particular to 6-[2-aryl-2-(amidino- and imodoylaminoalkanoylamino)acetamido]penicillanic acids and to the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, possessing high antibacterial activity, espcially against gram-negative micro-organisms.

The compounds in the group belonging to the family of penicillins differ from each other in the nature of the R variable and possess the general formula indicated below wherein the acyl moiety on the 6-aminopenicillanic acid ##SPC1##

Is derived from a carboxylic acid or functional derivative thereof such as an acyl halide or anhydride.

The pharmacodynamic properties and antibiotic profile of a given penicillin are determined to a large extent by the nature of the R group. The most widely used penicillins are those wherein the R moiety is represented by benzyl-, phenoxymethyl- or α-phenoxyethyl-. While these well-known analogs are highly antagonistic toward gram-positive micro-organisms they have limited gram-negative activity. Consequently, drugs which will combat a rise in gram-negative infections, e.g., E. coli, Pseudomonas or Klebsiella, are of value to the medical profession.

Recent efforts to improve the profile of activity within the family of penicillins has resulted in the synthesis of several new agents. α -Carboxybenzylpenicillin (U.S. Pat. No. 3,142,673), a broad spectrum antibiotic, is reported to have greater efficacy against gram-negative bacteria via the parenteral route of administration, but has limited utility via oral administration. α-Aminoarylmethylpenicillins and congeners thereof (U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,985,648; 3,140,282; 3,373,156; 3,308,023 and 3,342,677) are known, but have a limited spectrum of activity against certain gram-negative miro-organisms. Both gram-negative and gram-positive activity are claimed for 6-ureidopenicillanic acid derivatives in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,180,863; 3,120,512 and 3,118,877 and for α-ureidopenicillins in U.S. Pat. No. 3,352,851. Activity against gram-negative bacteria, especially those of the genus Pseudomonas, is claimed for α-carbamylureidopenicillins (U.S. Pat. No. 3,483,118) and α-alkoxycarbonylureidopenicillins (U.S. Pat. No. 3,481,922). More recently, α-guanylureidopenicillins (U.S. Pat. No. 3,579,501) and α-imidoylureidopenicillins (U.S. Pat. No. 3,634,405) have been reported to be useful against infectious diseases, especially those caused by the Pseudomonas genus.

In addition to the aforementioned variable definitions, the scope of the instant invention is meant to include congeners wherein Ar is 1,4-cyclohexadien-1-yl; A is 1,4- and 1,3-phenylene, bivalent heterocyclic ring, cycloalkylene, cycloalkylidene, arylene, aralkylene, alkylenearalkylene or alkylenearylene; A when taken with the nitrogen to which it is attached can form a heterocyclic ring; R₁ and R₂ when considered separately are each aroyl, cycloalkyl, alkanoyl, alkyl- and arylsulfonyl, aryl or alkyl substituted by halogen or amino; R₁ and R₂ when considered together with the nitrogen to which they are attached form a heterocyclic ring interrupted by a hetero atom selected from the group comprised of oxygen, sulphur and nitrogen, said nitrogen being optionally substituted by alkyl, substituted alkyl, aryl, acyl or sulfonyl; R₃ is cycloalkyl; and R₆ and R₉ are each heteroalkyl.

In accord with previous findings concerning the activity of such penicillins possessing asymmetric α-carbon atoms, the compounds of the present invention possessing the D-configuration are more active than those of the L-configuration and are the preferred compounds, although the L and DL forms of the instant compounds are also considered within the purview of the present invention.

Compounds of the instant application wherein A is alkylidene, derived from an α-aminoacid, have an asymmetric carbon atom allowing the D, L and DL forms. Although the unnatural form of the starting amino acid, the D-form, is the preferred, the DL and L isomers are considered within the scope of the present invention.

Further, it is noteworthy to mention while considering asymmetric centers, that there are several in the 6-aminopenicillanic acid nucleus, the basic building block from which the compounds of the present invention are derived. These potential additional isomers are not significant in this instance since the 6-aminopenicillanic acid employed leading to the product of this invention is that which is produced by fermentation and is consistently of one configuration.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In accordance with the process employed for synthesizing the penicillins of the present invention three preparative routes are amenable. The first is illustrated as follows: ##SPC10##

wherein R₁, R₂, R₃, Ar and A are as previously defined, and Z represents R₄ C(=NR₂)NR₁ --, R₅ C(=NR₂)NR₁ --, R₆ C(=NH)NH--, R₉ C(=NH)NH-- and R₁₀ CH₂ C(=NH)NH-- wherein R₁, R₂, R₄, R₅, R₆, R₉ and R₁₀ are as previously defined.

In practice, the requisite α-aminoarylmethylpenicillin triethylamine (TEA) salt and acid chloride hydrochloride, wherein Ar, A, R₁, R₂, R₃, R₄ and Z are as previously indicated, are contacted in a reaction-inert, aprotic solvent in the presence of a hydrogen halide scavenger, such as a tertiary amine, at -30° to 0°C. Generally, it is advantageous to employ an excess of the acid chloride as large as 100-200%. Under these conditions it is necessary to add a sufficient amount of a tertiary amine, preferably triethylamine, to neutralize the hydrogen chloride of the acid chloride as well as the hydrogen chloride which is generated by the interaction of the acid chloride with the α-amino group of the appropriate penicillin.

The reaction-inert solvent comprising the liquid phase of said reaction mixture should be one which does not react to any appreciable extent with either the reactants or product of said reaction. The preferred solvents should be anhydrous, aprotic, polar solvents such as dimethylformamide or hexamethylphosphoramide.

Although the initial contacting of the reactant is carried out at cold temperatures, in order to reduce the incidence of by-products, it is frequently desirable after a few minutes of mixing to allow the reaction mixture to warm to room temperature until the reaction is complete or nearly complete. The reaction time, which will vary depending on temperature, concentration and inherent reactivity of the starting reagents, is usually from 0.5 to 12 hours.

On completion of the above-mentioned reaction, any insolubles are filtered and the product is precipitated by adding the filtrate to a large volume of diethyl ether, or some other solvent in which the product is insoluble. The crude product is isolated by suction filtration and drying. A suspension of the crude product in methylene chloride is rendered free of any trace amounts of starting α-aminoarylmethylpenicillin by the addition of a small amount of triethylamine, which converts the starting penicillin to the methylene chloride soluble triethylamine salt. The pure product is subsequently filtered and dried.

The starting reagents leading to the products of the present invention are easily prepared by methods familiar to those skilled in the art. The α-aminoarylmethylpenicillins are known and described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,985,648 and 3,342,677 and by Long, et al., J. Chem. Soc., 1920 (1971), while the acid chloride hydrochlorides are readily synthesized from the corresponding acids employing thionyl chloride or phosphorous pentachloride. The corresponding acids are, in turn, prepared by synthetic methods well known to those skilled in the art. Noteworthy in this regard are the preparations as taught by Ried, et al., Ann., 661, 76 (1963), Ried, et al., Chem. Ber., 95, 728 (1962), McElvain, et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 71, 40 (1949), Bauer, et al., J. Org. Chem., 27, 4382 (1962) and Cardellini, et al., Ann. Chim. (Rome), 58, 183, 1199 (1958).

The second synthetic procedure employed in the preparation of the compounds of the instant invention is illustrated as follows: ##SPC11##

wherein Z, Ar, A, R₁, R₂, R₃, R₄, R₅, R₆ and R₁₀ are as previously indicated.

In accordance with the above outlined synthetic scheme, equimolar amounts of the requisite alkanoic acid hydrochloride, p-nitrophenol and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), are contacted in a reaction-inert solvent, such as those indicated in the previously discussed preparative procedure, at ambient temperatures. After 1 to 3 hrs., the intermediate p-nitrophenyl ester, generated in situ, is treated with an equimolar amount, or a slightly lesser amount, of the appropriate α-aminoarylmethylpenicillin, preferably as a basic tertiary amine salt. The reaction time can vary from 1 to 6 hrs. depending on the temperature, concentration and reactivity of the reagents employed.

The product is isolated, after filtration of the reaction mixture, by addition of the reaction filtrate to a large volume of diethyl ether. The product can be purified, when required, by employing triethylamine as mentioned in the previously discussed preparative method.

The third synthetic procedure, one which allows the synthesis of compounds of formula II, is illustrated as follows: ##SPC12##

wherein Ar, A, R.sub. and R₂ are as previously defined, P is lower alkyl, Q is R₄, R₅, R₆, R₉, R₁₀ CH₂ or R₁₁ R₁₂ C(OH)--, and W is --O-- or --S--.

Experimentally, the aforedescribed reaction between an imino ether and a 6-(α-aminoalkanoylamino)aracylaminopenicillanic acid leading to the compounds of formula II is carried out between equimolar amounts of said reactants plus as much as a 5-20% excess of the appropriate imino ether. Further, it is desired, although not absolutely necessary, to conduct the condensation in a reaction-inert solvent. The preferred solvents should be anhydrous, aprotic, polar solvents such as dimethylformamide or hexamethylphosphoramide.

The order of addition is not critical, and the reactants can be combined together in the same solvent or the predissolved reactants can be combined. It is preferred to cool the solvent or the solutions of individual reactants before combining to minimize any side reactions which may occur when one reactant is present in large excess during the initial phase of combining. Once the reactants are combined the cooling bath is removed and the reaction subsequently allowed to warm to room temperature.

Reaction time is not critical and is influenced by reaction temperature, concentration and inherent reactivity of the starting reagents. When ambient temperatures are employed, reaction time is generally 1-8 hours.

At the completion of the reaction period, the mixture or solution is poured into a miscible solvent, such as diethyl ether, in which the desired product II is insoluble. The precipitated product is separated by filtration, washed successively with ether, acetone or methylene chloride and dried in vacuo.

As one skilled in the art can recognize, the amidino and imidoylamino moieties of the instantly claimed compounds can exist in several different tautomeric forms, all of which are considered within the purview of the present invention.

As has been previously noted, a characteristic feature of the acidic compounds of the instant invention is their ability to form basic salts. Acid congeners of the present invention are converted to basic salts by the interaction of said acid with an appropriate base in an aqueous or nonaqueous medium. Such basic reagents suitably employed in the preparation of said salts can vary in nature, and are meant to contemplate such bases as organic amines, ammonia, alkali metal hydroxides, carbonates, bicarbonates, hydrides and alkoxides, as well as alkali earth metal hydroxides, hydrides, alkoxides and carbonates. Representative of such bases are ammonia, primary amines such as n-propylamine, n-butylamine, aniline, cyclohexylamine, benzylamine, p-toluidine, ethylamine, octylamine, secondary amines such as dicyclohexylamine and tertiary amines such as diethylaniline, N-methylpyrrolidine, N-methylmorpholine and 1,5-diazabicyclo-[4,3,0]-5-nonene; sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, sodium ethoxide, potassium methoxide, magnesium hydroxide, calcium hydride and barium hydroxide.

As one skilled in the art can readily appreciate, the compounds of the instant invention are sufficiently basic, by virtue of the amidino and imidoylamino moieties, to form acid addition salts; said salts, especially the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts, are also considered within the scope of this invention.

In the utilization of the chemotherapeutic activity of those compounds of the present invention which form basic salts, it is preferred, of course, to use pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Although water insolubility, high toxicity, or lack of crystalline nature may make some salt species unsuitable or less desirable for use as such in a given pharmaceutical application, the water insoluble or toxic salts can be converted to the corresponding acids by decomposition of the salts, or alternately they can be converted to any desired pharmaceutically acceptable basic salt. The salt pharmaceutically acceptable salts preferred include the sodium, aluminum, potassium, calcium, magnesium, ammonium and substitued ammonium salts, e.g., procaine, dibenzylamine, N,N-bis(dehydroabietyl)ethylenediamine, 1-ephenamine, N-ethylpiperidine, N-benzyl-β-phenethylamine, N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine, triethylamine, as well as salts with other amines which have been used to form salts with benzylpenicillin.

The novel penicillins described herein exhibit in vitro activity against a wide variety of micro-organisms, including both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Their useful activity can readily be demonstrated by in vitro tests against various organisms in a brain-heart infusion medium by the usual two-fold serial dilution technique. The in vitro activity of the herein described compounds renders them useful for topical application in the form of ointments, creams and the like, or for sterilization purposes, e.g., sick-room utensils.

These novel penicillins are also effective antibacterial agents in vivo in animals, including man, not only via the parenteral route of administration buty also by the oral route of administration.

Obviously, the physician will utimately determine the dosage which will be most suitable for a particular individual person, and it will vary with the age, weight and response of the particular patient as well as with the nature and extent of the symptoms, the nature of the bacterial infection being treated and the pharmacodynamic characteristics of the particular agent to be administered. It will often be found that when the composition is administered orally, larger quantities of the active ingredient will be required to produce the same level as produced by a small quantity administered parenterally.

Having full regard for the foregoing factors it is considered that an effective daily oral dose of the compounds of the present invention in humans of approximately 10-100 mg./kg. per day, with a preferred range of about 50-75 mg./kg. per day in single or divided doses, and a parenteral dose of 25-100 mg./kg. per day, with a preferred range of about 20-75 mg./kg. per day will effectively alleviate the symptons of the infection. These values are illustrative, and there may, of course, be individual cases where higher or lower dose ranges are merited.

As has been previously mentioned, the penicillins of the present invention are broad spectrum antibiotics which are, unlike many penicillin analogs, highly antagonistic toward gram-negative microorganisms, in particular E. coli, Pseudomonas and Klebsiella. Further, they appear to be more resistant than most penicillins to destruction by penicillinase, an enzyme produced by certain bacteria which degrades penicillin to an inactive penicillanic acid.

The preferred compounds of the present invention are 6-[2-phenyl-2-(amidinoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(3-amidinopropionamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(2-imidazolinylacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-( 3-[2-imidazolinyl)propionamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(formimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(acetimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(propionimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(butyrimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(iso-butyrimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(benzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(p-chlorobenzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(p-fluorobenzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(p-bromobenzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(2-furoimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(2-thenoimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(3,4-dichlorobenzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(3,5-dichlorobenzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid 6-[2-phenyl-2-(3-cyano-5-chlorobenzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]pencillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(3-cyano-5-bromobenzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(3,5-difluorobenzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(3,5-diiodoenzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(3,5-dicyanobenzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(3,4,5-triidobenzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]pencillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(m-chlorobenzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(m-cyanobenzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(2-pyrrylimidoyl)aminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(3,4-dibromobenzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]pencillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(3,5-dibromobenzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(3,5-bis{trifluoromethyl}benzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]pencillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(3,5-bis{methylthio}benzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]pencillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(3,5-methylsulfonyl)benzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(3,5-bis{N,N-dimethylsulfamoyl}benzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(3,4,5-tribromobenzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(3,5-dichloro-4-bromobenzimidoylaminoactamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(3,4,5-trichlorobenzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(3,5-dibromo-4-chlorobenzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(3,5-dibromo-4-fluorobenzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(4,5-dibromo-2-thenoimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(5-bromo2-thenoimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(4-pyridylimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(3-pyridylimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido] pencillanic acid, 6 -[2-phenyl-2-(1-oxo-4-pyridylimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido] penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(2,6-dichloro-4-pyridylimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(2-benzimidazoylimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(methylthioacetimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, 6-[2-phenyl-2-(methoxyacetimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid, and 6-[2-phenyl-2-(α-hydroxyphenylacetimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid.

The novel products of this invention are of value as antibacterial agents and are remarkably effective in treating a number of infections caused by susceptible gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria in poultry and animals including man. For such purposes, the pure materials or mixtures thereof with other antibiotics can be employed. They may be administered alone or in combination with a pharmaceutical carrier on the basis of the chosen route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice. For example, they may be administered orally in the form of tablets containing such excipients as starch, milk sugar, certain types of clay, etc., or in capsules alone or in admixture with the same or equivalent excipients. They may also be administered orally in the form of elixirs or oral suspensions which may contain flavoring or coloring agents, or be injected parenterally, that is, intramuscularly or subcutaneously. For parenteral administration, they are best used in the form of a sterile aqueous solution which may be either aqueous such as water, isotonic saline, isotonic dextrose, Ringer's solution, or non-aqueous such as fatty oils of vegetable origin (cotton seed, peanut oil, corn, sesame) and other non-aqueous vehicles which will not interfere with the therapeutic efficiency of the preparation and are nontoxic in the volume or proportion used (glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol). Additonally, compositions suitable for extemporaneous preparation of solutions prior to administration may advantageously be made. Such compositions may include liquid diluents, for example, propylene glycol, diethyl carbonate, glycerol, sorbitol, etc.; buffering agents, as well as local anesthetics and inorganic salts to afford desirable pharmacological properties.

The following examples are provided solely for the purpose of illustration and are not to be construed as limitations of this invention, many variations of which are possible without departing from the spirit or scope thereof.

A suspension of 1.58 g. (3.5 m moles) of D-α-aminobenzylpenicillin triethylamine salt in 35 ml. of dry dimethylformamide is treated with 0.5 ml. (3.5 m moles) of triethylamine and the mixture cooled to 0° C. in an ice bath while being vigorously stirred. Acetimidoylaminoacetyl chloride hydrochloride (595 ml., 3.5 m moles) is added and the reaction mixture allowed to stir in the cold for 30 min. An additional 595 mg. (3.5 m moles) of the acid chloride and 0.5 ml. (3.5 m moles) of triethylamine are added and stirring continued for 30 min. at 0° C. and at room temperature for 30 min. The mixture is filtered, and the clear filtrate poured into 400 ml. of diethyl ether. The crude product, after filtering, is suspended in 5 ml. of methylene chloride to which is then added 1 ml. of triethylamine. After stirring at room temperature for 5 hrs., the product is filtered and dried in vacuo, 755 mg. (48% yield).

A mixture of 4.5 g. (10 m moles) of D-α-aminobenzylpenicillin triethylamine salt and 1 g. (10 m moles) of triethylamine in 80 ml. of dimethylformamide, cooled to -30° C., is treated with 1.0 g. (5.2 m moles) of propionimidoylaminoacetyl chloride hydrochloride and the mixture allowed to stir at -20° to -30° C. for 20 min. at which time 1 g. more of the acid chloride is added and the stirring continued for 20 min. An additional 1 g. of triethylamine and 1 g. of acid chloride is added and the procedure repeated again after 20 min. of stirring in the cold, making a total of 4.0 g. of acid chloride and 3 g. of amine. The reaction mixture is warmed to 20° C., filtered and the yellow filtrate added to 1 l. of chloroform. The crude product, after washing with chloroform and drying (in vacuo), is dissolved in 20 ml. of dimethylformamide to which is added 1 ml. of triethylamine. The insolubles are filtered, and the filtrate added to 200 ml. of chloroform. The product is filtered and the purification procedure repeated again to provide 1.6 g. of the desired material. Trace amounts of solvent are removed by trituration of the product with diethyl ether and subsequent drying in vacuo, 1.5 g. (33% yield).

To 13.5 g. (0.03 mole) of D-α-aminobenzylpenicillin triethylamine salt and 3 g. (0.03 mole) of triethylamine in 240 ml. of dry dimethylformamide, cooled to -30° C., is added 4.2 g. (0.015 mole) of p-chlorophenylacetimidoylaminoacetyl chloride hydrochloride. After stirring in the cold for 45 min. 4.2 g. (0.015 mole) more of the acid chloride is added, followed, after 45 min., by the addition of 3 g. (0.03 mole) of triethylamine. Alternate additions are continued at 45 min. intervals until a total of 16.8 g. (0.06 mole) of acid chloride and 9.09 g. (0.09 mole) of triethylamine has been added to the penicillin salt. The reaction mixture is allowed to warm to room temperature and is subsequently filtered and the filtrate poured into 2.5 l. of chloroform. The resulting precipitate is filtered, washed successively with chloroform and ether and dried in vacuo, 5.6 g. The crude product is then dissolved in 50 ml of dimethylformamide containing 4 g. of triethylamine. A small amount of insolubles are filtered, the filtrate added to 700 ml. of chloroform and the precipitate product suction filtered. The product is further purified by trituration twice in 80 ml. of methylene chloride containing 2 g. of triethylamine and, finally, by trituration in methylene chloride alone. The pure product is dried in vacuo, 4.8 g. (28% yield).

A suspension of 4.5 g. (0.01 mole) of D-α-aminobenzylpenicillin triethylamine salt in 85 ml. of dry dimethylformamide is cooled to -10° C. in a salt ice bath and subsequently treated with 985 mg. (0.01 mole) of 2-pyrrolinylaminoacetyl chloride hydrochloride and 1.01 g. (0.01 mole) of triethylamine. After 30 min. of continued stirring and cooling an additional 985 mg. (0.01 mole) of acid chloride and 1.01 mole) of triethylamine are added and the mixture stirred for 1 hour. The ice bath is then removed and the reaction mixture allowed to warm to room temperature and stir for 45 min. The solids are filtered and the clear filtrate is added dropwise to 1 l. of diethyl ether with vigorous stirring. The crude product is filtered and suspended in 20 ml. of methylene chloride containing 3 ml. of triethylamine. After stirring at room temperature for 5 hrs., the purified product is filtered, washed with diethyl ether and dried in vacuo.

To a solution of 7.6 g. (15 m moles) of 6-[2-phenyl-2-(aminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid in 70 ml. of dimethylformamide is added 4.17 g. (18 m moles) of ethyl 3,4-dichloro-N-methylbenzimidate in 10 ml. of the same solvent. The resulting reaction mixture is allowed to stir at room temperature for 3 hrs., and is then added to 1 l. of chloroform. The precipitate is filtered, and the filtrate added to 1.5 l. of hexane. The resulting solids are filtered, dried (2.6 g.) and added to 50 ml. of methylene chloride to which is added 2.0 g. of triethylamine. The mixture is concentrated to dryness, dissolved in 25 ml. of dimethylformamide and, subsequently, treated with 400 ml. of chloroform and 600 ml. of hexane. The precipitate is filtered, washed with ether and then triturated with methylene chloride. Filtration and drying gave 1.76 g. (22% yield) of the desired product.

To a suspension of 2.4 g. (6 m moles) of 6-[D-2-phenyl-2-(aminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid in 50 ml. of dimethylformamide is added 1.6 g. of ethyl 3-nitro-4-hydroxybenzimidate and 0.9 ml. of triethyl amine, and the mixture allowed to stir at room temperature for 4 hrs. The reaction mixture is filtered and the filtrate added dropwise to 800 ml. of diethyl ether. The resulting precipitate is filtered, washed with ether and triturated with chloroform to give 1.7 g. of 6-[D-2-phenyl-2-(3-nitro-4-hydroxybenzimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid.

To 110 mg. (2.5 m moles) of sodium bicarbonate in 30 ml. of water is added 1.4 g. (2.5 m moles) of the above nitro compound, followed by 1.4 g. of 10% palladium on charcoal. The resulting mixture is shaken in a hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature at an initial pressure of 50 p.s.i. until the up-take of hydrogen ceases. The spent catalyst is filtered and the filtrate freeze dried to give 650 mg. of the desired penicillin as the sodium salt.

Triethylamine (48.5 g.) is added, and, after stirring for 10 min., the solution is added dropwise to 4 l. of chloroform. The precipitated solids are removed and the filtrate added to 6 l. of hexane. The solids formed are filtered, washed successively with chloroform and ether and dried under reduced pressure to give 61 g. of the desired product.

To further purify the product, it is dissolved in 200 ml. of dimethylformamide containing 12.1 g. of triethylamine, which is then filtered and added dropwise into 2 l. of chloroform. A small amount of solids are removed and the chloroform-dimethylformamide filtrates added to 6 l. of hexane. The product is filtered, dried (41.3 g.) and dissolved in 200 ml. of dimethylformamide. The resulting solution is added to 2.5 l. of chloroform and the precipitated product filtered, triturated with 3 × 500 ml. of methylene chloride and dried, 36.2 g.

EXAMPLE 41 6-[D-2-Phenyl-2-(aminoacetimidoylaminoacetamido)-acetamido]penicillanic acid (Ar = C₆ H₅ ; A = --CH₂ --; R₁₀ = H₂ N--)

A mixture of 2.5 g. (4.2 m moles) of 6-[D-2-phenyl-2-(benzyloxycarbonylaminoacetimidoylaminoacetamido)acetamido]penicillanic acid and 2.5 g. of 10% palladium-on-charcoal in 90 ml. of methanol-water is shaken in a hydrogen atmosphere at an initial pressure of 40 p.s.i. After 45 min. the reaction is complete, and the mixture is filtered through super cel. The filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure until the methanol is removed.

3. n,n'-diethylamidinoacetic Acid Hydrochloride

a. N-Ethyl-carboethoxyacetamide

To 15.0 g. (0.1 mole) of carboethoxyacetyl chloride in 150 ml. of benzene is added, with cooling, 9.9 g. (0.22 mole) of ethylamine in 50 ml. of the same solvent. The reaction mixture is allowed to stir at room temperature overnight, followed by filtration. The filtrate is washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to dryness. The residual product is washed several times with diisopropyl ether and dried in vacuo. The crude product is employed in the next reaction without further purification.

b. Methyl N-ethyl-carboethoxyaceimidate

To a refluxing, stirred solution of 9.54 g. (0.06 mole) of N-ethyl-carboethoxyacetamide in 20 ml. of benzene is added 5.69 ml. (0.06 mole) of dimethyl sulfate over a period of 2.5 hrs. and the resulting mixture is refluxed for 16 hrs. The cooled reaction mixture is neutralized carefully with 6N sodium hydroxide solution, and the organic phase separated and dried over sodium sulfate. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure provides the crude product which is employed in the next reaction step without further purification.

c. N,N'-Diethyl-carboethoxyacetamidine Hydrochloride

To a solution of 3,46 g. (0.02 mole) of methyl N-ethyl-carbethoxyacetimidate in 30 ml. of diethyl ether is added 900 mg. (0.02 mole) of ethylamine and the reaction mixture allowed to stir several hours at room temperature. Anhydrous hydrogen chloride gas is slowly introduced into the reaction mixture until the formation of the amidine hydrochloride ceases. The product is filtered and dried in vacuo.

d. N,N'-Diethylamidinoacetic Acid Hydrochloride

A solution of 2.2 g. (0.01 mole) of N,N'-diethyl-carboethoxyacetamidine hydrochloride in 60 ml. of 12N hydrochloric acid is converted to the free acid in a manner similar to the procedure of Preparation A-1c.
